For the PC gamers out there, right now seems to be a historically bad time to upgrade parts to your rig like RAM and storage. Prices have skyrocketed since the beginning of the year following new demand from AI. Tech companies are gobbling up all the supply for data centers, inflating the value for consumers. So if you want to make some improvements to your desktop set up, you’re best looking at other accessories for now.

How much attention have you given to sound? Monitors get lots of hype, but a good sound system can equally improve your immersion into the games your playing or simply just enhance whatever it is your doing at your computer that involves audio.

The Philips PC soundbar features two full-range drivers capable of 14W max stereo sound that’s great for music, videos, gaming, and calls. Right now, Amazon happens to have his Philips PC soundbar selling for 13% off. Normally sold for $80, the $10 discount ends up bringing it down to just $70 for a limited time.

RGB LED Lights with Multiple Modes

The real standout feature for this Philips PC soundbar is its RGB lighting effects. Heck, you can’t label a product as being for capital-G “Gamers” without adding in a little RGB. The whole length of the soundbar is equipped with lights that can be set to synchronize with your music or other audio. You can choose between different modes depending on your scenario, either going for the punchy and vibrant lighting that cover the whole spectrum of color or going for a simply ambient lighting with a subtle glow when relaxing at your desk or getting some work done.

As a wireless sound system, the Philips PC soundbar can connect to your PC, laptop, phone, or tablet over Bluetooth 5.4 for smooth, lag-free audio while avoiding a tangle of cables at your desk. You can also movie it around your desktop freely without it being locked in place due to your cable setup. The battery supports up to 12 hours of listening time on a single charge (up to six hours when using the lights). You can of course still just choose to have it permanently plugged in at your desk so you don’t have to worry about recharging.

The soundbar also features a built-in microphone, allowing you to take calls hands-free. It’s also ideal for jumping into Zoom meetings or Teams calls, potentially working better with more clarity than your laptop’s built-in microphone.
